    Second coat of Z-Poxy Finishing resin applied today on the fuselage. I weighed all the resin as I mixed it, then weighed what was left in each cup and the total weight of the resin applied was 28 grams or 0.98 ounces. A lot of that will get sanded off. The second coat comes out pretty shinny no...

    I also meant to add that I weighed the fuse after sanding. Before glass 62.37 ounces After sanding 1st coat of resin 65.65 ounces So the weight gain from the .5 ounce glass cloth and first coat of resin after sanding was 3.28 ounces.

    Plastic spreaders work fine, and some are very flexible, I just prefer something a little less rigid. Last week marked my 36th year of full time work in the bodyshop business, so sanding, spreading and painting are kind of my thing.;)

    Glassing and Painting techniques

    If you sand the overlap smooth after the first coat of resin, then the second coat will take care of any fuzzy or frayed spots that may jump up. You can also get some fuzzy areas from using too much resin on the first coat. It sounds a little counter-intuitive, but what happens is you can...

    Snoopy, Last night I did start some sanding on the fuse and the seam is coming out great. I've finished the seam on the top from the back of the hatch rearward. I've also done about 1/2 of the bottom. Nice and smooth.

    I did some weighing on the glassed fuselage. Before 62.37 ounces After 66.33 ounces I expect to lose a minimum of an ounce of that in the sanding before the second coat.

    Absolutely awesome work! There really isn't anything else to say except that now I feel like a total hack.
